white font on white background in addressbar, tab titles etc.
Hi,
I have an odd problem with a friend's Firefox and Thunderbird on Windows. The font changed to white in the address bar, the tab titles, some content on websites, some elements of the settings etc.
From what I can see there is no difference to my settings under "Language and Appearance". When I create a new profile either with the profile manager in Firefox or by renaming "%appdata"\Mozilla Firefox", nothing changes. So I can rule out a custom userchrome.css or similar in the profile folder. When I switch to "troubleshoot mode" with the old or the new profile, everything looks fine.
It also affects Thunderbird, but no other programms.
I can't figure out, where the problem lies.

Could be a problem with the theme and Firefox thinks for some reason that you use a dark theme. Are you using some High Contrast mode in your OS? Does it has effect if you switch to the built-in light theme if you currently use the default system theme?
I'll call my friend later, but can this happen with a new fresh profile? And it also happened to Thunderbird, but no other programs. It's like there were some settings outside the profile and program folders which are shared between FF and TB.
Firefox uses the default system theme by default and if there is a problem with Firefox detecting the system settings then a new profile won't help.
